hi coderman,
how are things going for you? i'm not the sharpest of bent sharp tacks and it's hard for me to tell how people are doing.
my complex dissipative processes continue!
it is so incredible to realise that archiveteam is actively distributing massive archives among supporters.
archiving is a tense topic for me and it can be hard to research it ... do you know if they are hashing the content in merkle trees? do you know if there is a way to review the archived files?
they describe a little bit here https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Who_We_Are but they are not disciplined practitioners of established techniques - a lot of this is ad-hoc. that said, when the torrents are distributed the torrents have a markle tree index as you desire. there is a way to review archived files, you can ask in #archiveteam-bs on their IRC server, or even review logs for info https://archive.fart.website/bin/irclogger_logs the Parler archive will eventually be on archive.org, but i don't know any details on timeframe. best regards,
